2-2 Static-Sensitive Devices

Electrostatic-Discharge (ESD) can damage electronic com ponents. To

avoid damaging your system board, it is important to handle it very

carefully. The following measures are generally sufcient to protect your

equipment from ESD.

Precautions

• Use a grounded wrist strap designed to prevent static discharge.

• Touch a grounded metal object before removing the board from the

antistatic bag.

• Handle the board by its edges only; do not touch its components,

peripheral chips, memory modules or gold contacts.

• When handling chips or modules, avoid touching their pins.

• Put the motherboard and peripherals back into their antistatic bags

when not in use.

• For grounding purposes, make sure your computer chassis provides

excellent conductivity between the power supply, the case, the mount-

ing fasteners and the motherboard.

• Use only the correct type of onboard CMOS battery. Do not install the

onboard battery upside down to avoid possible explosion.

Unpacking

The motherboard is shipped in antistatic packaging to avoid static dam-

age. When unpacking the board, make sure that the person handling it

is static protected.
